    Hallo all, i'm new here and i hope you guys can help me out.
    A few days ago, a weird problem started at my computer...
    after a dew hours of work, there was some strange symptoms -
    the internet connection wasn't working (i have router), the whole computer
    worked slow as a turtle, and when trying to launch some programs,
    any program (task manager, IE, etc..) i get the following message -

    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.
    You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    this problem accures randomly during the pc work time in day (and night),
    but i've noticed that after burning something with nero \ alcohol 120%
    the problem always happen, but not only after burning something, but as
    i said - randomly during the day.

    There isn't any problem with my admin privilieges, and never had.
    i tried cleaning spyware from my pc with 3 different progs, but nothing found.
    i also cleaned the registry, removed some unneccessery apps from the pc,
    and cleaned internet cach (using CCleaner).
    Also tried the AVG removal tool - http://www.grisoft.com/doc/112/lng/us/tpl/tpl01
    for virus known to give this kind of error, no luck.

    What can be the problem? I'm running updated Windows XP Pro + SP2,
    and i'm logged in as Admin all the time.

    Please help me , thanks :rolleyes:
